It's been a while since I got a chance to write, and truth be told, I'm in the finals season, which would be the time where I'd have the least amount of time to spend writing. Well, here it is. I've been really busy this past semester with part-time work and my studies that I couldn't even find the time to even learn anything on my own. I was going to start writing Android apps again, which was forgotten sooner than I'd expect. This semester I took "Data Structures & Algorithms", "Data Mining", "Automata Theory & Computation" ,"Introductory Combinatorics", and mathematics. So as you can tell, I had a full plate.

I don't know if you've read the about page, since I did mention there that I lost over 70 pounds in less than a year.

It all started a year ago, on July 31st 2016, when I signed up at a gym, and when the coach saw me come in and ask for a workout routine, I could see he was about to laugh out loud.

If you'd seen me back then, which I'm guessing some of you did, the idea of me working out would have made you laugh as well. My dad dropped me off, and later said to me that he, quote, "Expected you to call within 20 minutes and ask me to pick you up".

I remember that day vividly, since it was the day that my life changed completely.

The Pixel Launcher, introduced officially last summer preloaded on the brand new Google Pixel phones. It looked simply amazing. Clean, colorful, heavenly and just beautiful with those round icons. I bet lots of people, including myself thought we could get a hold of it and use it on our devices as soon as a system dump gets out... But unfortunately that was not the case.
